Log sample
Overview
Feral is a melee damage-over-time spec built on maintaining bleeds and spending combo points efficiently. It has a reputation for complexity because keeping several timers alive at once takes practice, but the core loop is consistent and the payoff on long fights is strong.
How this spec operates
- Energy and Combo Points gate every finisher — never cap combo points.
Rake,
Rip, and
Thrash bleeds are your sustained damage — uptime beats filler spam.
Tiger's Fury resets energy and amplifies damage — press on cooldown in combat.
Primal Wrath spreads
Rip in AoE — the bleed setup is the same, the finisher changes.- High mobility in
Cat Form — plan target swaps before bleeds expire on dying adds.
